Want an easy way to track when your text messages were sent or received? SMS Timestamps is a jailbreak tweak that may be up to the task.
With SMS Timestamps installed, you can force a timestamp to created with every new message, or you can set specified timestamp intervals of 1, 5 or 10 minutes.
It's nowhere near a groundbreaking idea, but if you've been looking for a standalone timestamp solution, then SMS Timestamps does the job adequately...
AppleInsider passes on a report from an Austin news outlet that Apple could receive tax rebates worth $7.4 million over the next 10 years if it goes ahead with plans to build a new campus in Northwest Austin.
Combine this with the nearly $30 million in tax breaks and incentives it is already set to receive, and Apple has a lot of reasons to want to start building its new offices as soon as possible...
Foxconn is the world's largest (and Apple's favorite) contract manufacturer. Despite criticism that it runs sweatshops, the truth is that Foxconn leads the charge in improving working conditions at its high-tech factories, at least compared to other large-scale production operations in China.
A new report citing company founder and CEO Terry Gou confirms that Foxconn has put forth a plan to increase salaries of its workers come this June. Conveniently, the news coincides with Apple CEO Tim Cook's recent trip to China, as well as the rumored production of a sixth-generation iPhone...
Folks who use Facebook's iOS app might want to make sure to stay away from using public computers and charging stations for a while. Apparently a serious security glitch has been discovered in the software that could give hackers access to your account.
Security researcher Gareth Wright published a blog post yesterday that has raised some serious questions about how iOS developers are handling saved values — logins, etc. It seems that some apps are saving this data in plain, unencrypted text files...
Yesterday, Google's Larry Page sparked some controversy with some comments he made regarding Steve Jobs. In an interview with Businessweek, the CEO suggested that Jobs' disdain for Android was more for show than anything else.
But Walter Isaacson, author of the Apple founder's popular biography, tells a different story. Isaacson gave a lecture at the Royal Institution in the UK last night, and had no problem clearing the air about Jobs' feelings on Google's mobile OS...
AppMosaic is an upcoming jailbreak app that brings App Store App discovery to your iDevice by means of Cydia.
I believe this is probably the first app of its kind on Cydia, and for that, AppMosaic gets major props for originality.
Upon opening the app, you're presented with a two sided column that composes a full mosaic of app icons. The left side of the column is dedicated to the top 200 paid apps, and the right side is for the top 200 free apps.
Check out our full video walkthrough to see how AppMosaic can help you discover hidden gems on the App Store...
In the months leading up to the iPhone 4S launch, Apple lost a prototype of the handset. It seemed like it was going to be the iPhone 4/Gizmodo debacle all over again, but no pictures or other evidence ever surfaced.
Apple took some heat over the way it handled its search for the device, allegedly raiding the home of Sergio Calderon with a team of police officers. In fact, Sergio threatened to file a lawsuit against the company unless a settlement was reached.
Well here we are, more than 6 months later, and no lawsuit has been filed...
Barron's, a financial arm of The Wall Street Journal's web network, passes on an interesting report today from Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek. The analyst has upped his stock price target for Apple to $800 per share on the back of new information regarding a TV set.
In an investor's note, sent out this morning, Misek said that his recent trip to China has given him "increased confidence" that Apple will be launching a TV this year. He claims, among other things, that he saw television components en route to Apple suppliers...
By now, you probably know that I'm neither a fan of cases nor screen protectors, so when the folks at SGP asked me if I'd like to check out their new screen protector for iPhone 4S, I gave them my boilerplate answer: "you may send it to me but I make no guarantee that I will review it on iDB."
I was really intrigued by SGP's GLAS.t premium tempered glass screen protector right off the bat though. As far as I know, this is the very first screen protector for iPhone entirely made of glass, and after seeing the video demo, I knew I wanted to try it despite my disdain for screen protectors.
So about a month ago, I installed the GLAS.t on my iPhone 4S. This is my review of it...
If you're looking for a tweak that's practical for every day use, then you might as well move along now. iLettars is anything but practical, and on top of that it's pretty expensive at $1.59.
On the other hand, for those of you looking to show off some funky animations to your friends, and don't mind dropping the cost of a cheap drink at Starbucks to do so, feel free to continue...
Wouldn't it be cool if the iPhone immediately enabled the media controls on the Lock screen upon the detection of headphones? Indeed, it would.
HeadphoneLauncher borrows this idea and takes it one step further; not only will it bring up the Lock screen media controls, but it will also bring up an application launcher that you can use to launch your favorite apps.
Check out our video walkthrough of HeadphoneLauncher inside...
